Series Review: Incredibly Disgusting Food This series really sends a clear message on the dangers our teens face with food. I think Michelle Obama would highly support these titles in her quest to eliminate childhood obesity in a generation... All in all, loved this series. Rosen's designers so brilliantly included the word disgusting in the title that teens are intrigued and pick them up. Yes! If I can get teens to stop and think about what they are eating, I'll put the Incredibly Disgusting Food series on my shelves. --Diane Chen, John F. Kennedy Middle School Series Review: Incredibly Disgusting Food Knowledge about ingredients and eating in moderation is the consensus of all of the books as evidenced by the last chapters that cover healthier practices and alternatives to snack food. Readers may or may not be disgusted, but they will definitely learn a thing or two about smart eating habits. --School Library Journal
